twinpower

two shark reels that will go forever hopefully no problems so far as ones new and the other survived its first season with flying colours. haha both matched with sabres just 2 of my collection but truly loved

i buy both and enjoy them both. i reckon wild coast has a better range of pictures and i enjoy the brag board alot but i also think sa angler is just as good. hahaha tp (undecided on which ones better.)

gammys all the way! real good hooks

ive caught a few down the cape and caught one out the tinny the other week down aldinga. apparently theyre very old for there size i think 40 odd years old. all mine have been released

hey guys,i might be heading over to beachport with a mate over easter, just have a few questions about the jetty? does the end of the jetty have railings? as ill be sharking what is the bottom like there? and what winds do you need to sail a balloon of of the end? never been there before. ive heard many great things tho i know they get a few large schoolys, gillers and gummys off the bottom there so all aspects covered! we will be chasing mullies from nearby beaches also so i have no clue about the area but ill just give it a decent crack.. if anyone fishes up there regularly and can lend a helping hand and give me some pointers it will be much appreciated. thanks tp

i myself are a shimano man but have taking a liking to the bigger egg beaters in the daiwa range. the saltiga surf would be perfect for beach fishing. i myself will be getting one shortly.

thanks for all the response and the offers. 4tha not once did i intrude the guys space i respected that he was also tryin to fish he helped us out at first as well then our lines came into a single tangle. from ours being anchored 150m out and from his squid float that had drifted across. it was very simple to fix but he didn want to reel in his squid jag for 2 mins to fix the problem. in his eyes it was easier to wind in ours and kayak it out again. thanks tp

ok guys and girls where to begin.sorry that i havnt been following this post because i am computerless at the moment... hahai am not afraid to say that the news report was referring to me about the angler who pulled a knife. yes that was me and a mate down there but its not how the media would have it seem. me and a mate arrived at normanville around 6 oclock in the arvo an old guy was fishing the jetty that i had met a few nights ago while a bunch of my mates were sharking. any way we unpacked the yak and rods etc and loaded up the left side of the jetty no rods were in the water yet because we were still preparing. the old guy was fishing the right hand side of the jetty for squid on the little reef to the right. by now the time was edging closer to 7 we had a chat for a while why we prepared our SNOOK BAITS with rubberbands etc and balloons.when we were ready my mate hopped in his yak next to the jetty on the left side and i walked onto the beach and loaded his yak with my bait brick etc he paddled out about 150m to the ne side of the jetty and laid my bait out in the water with no oil.when he returned it was his baits turn i asked the old guy politely mate where just taking this bait out as far as that one can u please wind in ur line for a minute, he did know worries we set that bait up.after i arrived back on the jetty from along side the jetty i noticed that the old guys squid line had drifted over my mates shark line. just a simple crossed line which can be resulted in switching rods anyway but now he said to me can u wind that sharkline in its in my way. i said na mate sorry its out there on a brick can i just move the rod out of ur way. well i can say he didn like that he went on to sayin im sik of u shark fisherman tryn to take over MY jetty ive been fishn here for 50 years eff off eff use im sick of all of use coming down her. by all of use i guess he means every sharker that has been down normy. why should i be held responsible for every sharker it was my first time down there?? anyway i went on with my buisness about to cut a ray bait up and he said are u gonna move this rod i said no so he continued to argue by this time hes inbetween mine and my mates rod he said to me i should throw this shit in the water. i turned around he had my custom sabre nd tiagra in his hands i stood up i had the knife in my hand in not 1 way of form did i hold it towards him or threatin him with it i told him he better put it down so he dropped it and lucky i tie my rod nd reel to the jetty or the combo would of hit the floor and probs scratched my reel. he said wat are u goin to do with the knife stab me.. i said no and dropped it and i started to get aggresive with him because of what he just did i yelled at him and said hes lucky he doesnt get thrown in the water and we argued a bit longer. not once did i lay hands on him or he did to me so it was a verbal argument anyway wen my mate came up to the jetty i told him wat happened and we were thinking of leaving but we didnt so the old guy left and then next there was a cop coming down and he charged me with assult which didnt happen there was a verbal argument between 2 people. and the officer said i have to take the old guys word because i know him!!!!!so there is my version of events from that afternoon. as for shark fishing and kids i do yhave respect for children in the water but seriously why would you let your kids swim as far as 100m offshore in the afternoons. i would be concerned to for my childrens safety concerned enough to take them to the swimming centre!!! shark fisherman arnt the blame for sharks being in close. during summer as the water temperature warms up certain species will start to move closer to shore. sharks come in at this time of year as well to drop there pups and to feed on the abundance of bait. anyway the discussions could go on forever i hope most of u can understand my writing haha cheers tp

me and a mate jus spooled his up we got a km of 40lb yozuri hybrid

tiagra 50wlrsa on a custom built sabre eg670h 7ft6 in length!

stay out of the water

hahahaha agreed spartan haha its been very slow there last few years been sightings all around but no ones hooked up i know alot of the local fisherman that tried a fair bit last summer for nothing but thats sharkin..

i use it a bit as well. i dont have much problem with it at all i use it in 10lb and 6lb also if u have the coin give the suffix 832 a crack in the green i love that stuff hahaha cheers

cheers 4thalove yer i bet should be a good snapper combo i was gonna go the stradic 4000 as well but went with the twinpower. nice cant wait to see her loaded up.. cheers

hey boys just bought a rod for my shimano twinpower 5000fc i purchased a lucanus jig spin light pe 1-3. and it feels like a cracker combo havnt had the chance to use it as of yet. anyone else out there got the lucanus rod and can share a story about it. i cant wait to load her up she feels good i have the o/h lucanus medium fitted with a calcutta 400b love that combo as well. anyway just wondering if anyone has cracked some good fish with the same rod.. and how did it go? cheers tp

hey breambo how much did ya pay for the egi rod and where from mate i would be interested in buying one as wellcheers tp

i also take the crab net for a landing net most of the time. its the times u dont take it u get the fish u need it for haha but thats another story. i always have to fill people in on this info because i fish there a fair bit and i always get people tellin me no thats just at the end of the jetty because there is a sign saying "no fishing or crab netting beyond this point" so maybe they need to put a sign up saying no crabbing on the wholke jetty to stop the confusion with new fisherman who are just after some crabs but dont know the rules yet. cheers ntp

some good looking gear there!!!!

try southport beach near porties jetty mate u will get salmon there bait or lure bud goodluck

macho macho macho macho!!!

yer thats wat i bought it for but untill i get my stradic 4000 im gonna throw it around in the surf love it tho i have the 1000fb love that to haha

it all depends in my opinion io dont have a set distance but wen im happy i leave it lol

hey mate i use a twinpower 5000 an a 9ft tcurve revoloution i love it i bang 60g lures easily with it i agree with soutie u dont always need to wind fast to get a hook up. any way my outfits probs suited for bigger salmon im thinking of getting a lighter out fit as well cheers tp

i hope u enjoyed the dvd mate great cake as well cheers tp
